Selling Your CNC Machining or Aerospace Manufacturing Business
In the world of high-precision manufacturing, "good enough" is a failure. Whether you are operating a Tier 1 Supply Chain facility or a specialized Contract Manufacturing shop, your business is defined by its tolerances—measured in microns and maintained through rigorous ISO standards.
At The Precision Firm, we apply that same level of technical rigor to your Exit Strategy. We don't just "list" businesses; we engineer transactions for the "Builders of the Modern World." When it is time to transition, you need an advisor who understands that your value isn't just on a balance sheet—it’s in your Throughput, your Capital Equipment lifecycle, and your deep-rooted engineering expertise.
Our Specialized M&A Services for Elite Manufacturers
Selling a precision machine shop or an aerospace engineering firm requires a nuanced understanding of the industrial landscape. We provide a full-spectrum suite of services designed to maximize value while ensuring operational continuity.
The Precision Firm Service Suite
Technical Business Valuation: We go beyond standard EBITDA multiples. Our Valuation process accounts for the replacement value of Capital Equipment, the stability of your Backlog, and your standing within the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards.
Strategic Buyer Identification: We target buyers who value your specific niche—whether it is Medical Device Manufacturing or defense-grade Aerospace components. We vet for "strategic fit" to ensure your legacy of Precision Machining remains intact.
Confidentiality & Risk Mitigation: For Contract Manufacturing firms, client concentration and intellectual property are sensitive. We manage the entire process behind a "firewall," protecting your relationships with the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and other T1 partners.
Deal Structuring & Closing: From letter of intent to the final wire transfer, we manage the complexities of asset vs. stock sales, ensuring the Exit Strategy aligns with your financial and personal goals.
Why the Right Advisor Matters in Manufacturing
The difference between a generic broker and an expert M&A advisor is the ability to articulate "Value Beyond the Iron." A generic broker sees a lathe; we see a 5-axis synchronous machining center with a 98% uptime rating.
Backlog & Pipeline Analysis: We quantify the value of your master service agreements and long-term contracts to drive higher multiples.
Supply Chain Positioning: We highlight your critical role in the NIST manufacturing framework, making you an irresistible target for larger conglomerates.
Operational Efficiency: We translate your lean manufacturing successes into "Investment Grade" documentation.

FAQs
How is my capital equipment factored into the sale price?
Unlike standard appraisals, we evaluate equipment based on its contribution to Throughput and specialized capability. We look at age, maintenance logs, and how it secures your position in the Tier 1 Supply Chain.
How do you maintain confidentiality from my employees and competitors?
We utilize "Blind Profiles" that highlight the financial and technical strengths of your firm without revealing its identity. Deep-dive data rooms are only opened after a rigorous vetting process and a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
What role does my "Backlog" play in a valuation?
A strong, diversified Backlog is the most effective way to mitigate buyer risk. It proves future revenue stability and often allows us to negotiate higher multiples and better deal structures for the seller.
